00:00Very well, we shall do the tests again.
00:03The level of disregard for the comfort and convenience of an elderly patient is unforgivable.
00:11I don't know what that ice cream van's doing.
00:14Mrs. Bianchi's having some strong peers.
00:16We're going to get her settled and take a look at her.
00:19Oh, they're lasting a minute each.
00:21And how often are they coming?
00:24Well, I don't know.
00:26Am I meant to write them all down?
00:27Is that by any chance your ice cream van parked outside, Mr. Bianchi?
00:31Yes, it is.
00:32I only got it last summer. Best ice cream in Poplar. Guaranteed.
00:36I'm sure it is, but at the present moment we're more interested in delivering babies than ice cream.
00:42Would you mind turning off the music?
00:45Oh, sorry.
00:54What do you want me to do with these, then?
00:57OK.
00:59I'll take the run of beans. We can have those with the chops I've planned.
01:03Everything else can go to the Harvest Festival.
01:06What?
01:06But even the Marrows?
01:08They would have won first prize in the multicultural show if I'd have been ready in time.
01:12They're bigger than toddlers' legs, Fred.
01:15And I haven't the time to be stuffing them with mince and making a white sauce.
01:21I'll take them to the Narrow's house, then.
01:24The children will march from there to the church in a procession.
01:28Your produce will be widely admired.
01:33You're not in labour just yet, honey.
01:35These are just what we call Braxton Hicks contractions.
01:38It's your buddy rehearsing for the routine.
01:40I feel a bit of a fool now.
01:43And it's taking Tony away from his van.
01:45That van's our whole livelihood now I've stopped working.
01:48Have I missed it?
01:49Oh, it's all right. Yes, I have.
01:51It was a false alarm.
01:56Good job you never told no-one.
01:58I'll get me leg pulled something rotten.
02:03Is there anything you need taking to the post office, sister?
02:07I'm rather more concerned about a letter I took to the post office two weeks ago.
02:11The one you wrote to the Board of Health?
02:13Yes.
02:14Telling them we would close Nanata's house
02:17if we were no longer allowed to work as Christian missionaries.
02:21I expected a response from them at the very least.
02:24It's entirely likely that they're playing games.
02:26Keeping you waiting because you kept them waiting.
02:29One would hope they were above such a pettiness
02:32when there is so much at stake.
02:44Idiot!
02:45You took her in too early.
02:46Hey, bro.
02:47You coming to football tonight?
02:48I don't know, Matteo.
02:50I'm not really in the mood.
02:51You stop coming to football.
02:53You stop coming swimming.
02:54You need to make the most of your freedom while you've got it.
02:58Come on, let's go.
02:59You got everything?
03:00Yes, good.
03:01See you, baby-bubba.
03:02You got the bag?
03:03Come on, let's go.
03:05I do not have unlimited quantities of copacular matter in my veins.
03:10Sister, you're a nurse.
03:12You know as well as I do that blood replenishes itself.
03:17And we need to get to the bottom of what ails you.
03:20We all know what ails me.
03:23I am merely ancient and presumed frail as a consequence.
03:30Sister, I have five minutes before I leave on my round.
03:34Would you like me to move the television into your room?
03:36Do you suppose I'm at the point of expiry?
03:40There is no reason to treat me as an invalid.
03:44As the analysis of my blood will testify.
03:53Ladies and gentlemen, the doors to tonight's wrestling in the main hall will open in five minutes.
04:20I've learned so much about deferment since I gave up drink.
04:25I've learned you can bear anything if you pretend it's forever.
04:30I can postpone.
04:32I can wait.
04:34But putting things off until tomorrow doesn't always work.
04:38Because what if tomorrow never comes?
04:43I've been postponing a decision for a long time now.
04:50Come on!
04:51Come on!
04:52Yeah!
04:52I have a garden.
04:52Come on.
04:54Come on.
04:58In three.
05:00In three.
05:00Out.
05:02Win a bird.
05:10It's not a decision about drink it's a decision about work and work is my other addiction
05:20Is there a doctor in here anyone I'm a nurse that'll do it's a concussion
05:28You're staging sporting events you're legally obliged to have medical help on the premises
05:32I know nothing about no legal obligations. Um, this is her harmony savage
05:38Hello harmony. I'm a nurse. I'm sorry. You've been hurt
05:43occupationalisers
05:44Did you lose consciousness or did you remain aware of your surroundings? I never went out. I was just
05:49putting on a bit of a show
05:51punters like
05:54I've got to go back out finish the job. Whoa. You were out cold. I did the count but it's
06:00over
06:01Brenda the butcher one fair and square
06:06You live going to give out the prize money
06:09If you can't be absolutely sure that you weren't knocked out
06:13I really think you ought to go to the casualty department. I'm gonna go home to bed
06:20Oh hello, sweetie
06:25Who's this?
06:26Carl my boy
06:28He comes to all my fights
06:30Come on
06:32Let's pack up and get you in the van
06:34You really must not drive after blacking out however briefly
06:38Any better ideas?
06:42I know it was a false alarm to that heap but
06:46It made me think how real all this is
06:51How we've made a proper grown-up life
06:56You do go on
06:59It's like being the baby of the family gave you a great big chip on your shoulder
07:03No, it wasn't that
07:05It was being the one who is no good at all the things the others did
07:10It's not your fault you won't cut out for the tiling trade
07:13Besides
07:15I'd rather have a bit of soft scoop than a hundred yards of mosaic flooring
07:21Come on, light's up
07:23What's that?
07:24Oh, nothing
07:25Tony, there's blood on your singlet
07:29What is it? Show me
07:36How long have you had this?
07:39Oh, wow
07:42I'll put the plaster on it
07:44You will not
07:46In the morning, I'm ringing the doctor
07:57Ow, get it
08:03Wrestling was all I knew
08:04Even as a little girl
08:06My dad was Bert Savage
08:08Lamb of pamphlet
08:09God rest him
08:10I used to watch him every time he fought
08:12It's rather wonderful that you followed in his footsteps
08:14Even more wonderful if it were legal
08:16There's a whole ladies circuit up north
08:18Just as legitimate as the men's
08:19But in London, we're outlaws
08:22I really would like you to be seen by a doctor
08:25If at all possible, Harmony
08:26Oh, my real name's Gwen
08:29Thanks for seeing us home
08:32Come on, little in
08:45I've given up to doing sports and everything
08:49It's so unsightly
08:52I probably just banged it
08:55Oh
08:57It looks like a sebaceous cyst to me
09:02Antibiotics will take the edge off it
09:04But I think it needs to be removed
09:06Oh, I've got a baby to any day
09:09All the more reason to get it out of the way
09:12I'll call St Cuthbert's myself
09:23Now that is the birdsong I can easily identify
09:28The lesser spotted buckle
09:32Ah, sister, how you keeping?
09:34I'm keeping on
09:37If a little more desiccated
09:40With every week the passes
09:43Perhaps I should not linger
09:45Lest you sweep me up with all the other dead leaves
09:50I've got a bag of doughnuts in my shed
09:52Will they cheer you up a bit?
09:54Are they jam-filled?
09:55No, they're the ones with the holes in
09:57Then I will forego them
09:59Do you detect a chill in the breeze today?
10:02I reckon I felt the first nip
10:06I like it when the seasons start to turn though
10:09That time of year the maced in me behold
10:13When yellow leaves
10:14Or none or few
10:17Do hang upon those boughs
10:20That shake with cold
10:23Bare ruined choirs
10:26Where late the sweet birds sang
10:29In me
10:31Thou seest the twilight of such day
10:35As after sunset fadeth in the west
10:39Which by and by
10:42Like night doth take away
10:45Death's second self
10:48That seals up all in rest
11:07Sister Monica Tone
11:09What's brought this on?
11:14Time, Mr Buckle
11:17It's passage and it's sheer
11:20Weary
11:21Accumulation
11:24Would you like a cup of tea?
11:27If you will sit and take one with me
11:40Well, Miss Savage
11:41I'm not seeing anything that needs further tests
11:44Any other bumps or bruises you'd like me to look at?
11:47I've got a rash
11:48Keeps coming up sort of on the back of my shoulder
11:52If you just slip your blouse off dear
11:55Don't believe I've ever met a lady wrestler before
11:59Imagine it's quite physically taxing
12:02I call over sometimes
12:04Fight or no fight
12:15I think I know what this is
12:17It's a skin virus called herpes gladiatorum
12:22Gladiator like in Spartacus?
12:24I love a bit of Kirk Douglas
12:26Don't be yours
12:28I'm afraid this comes from grazing your skin on grubby canvas in the ring
12:33Your best bet is to wash it daily with medicated soap
12:37And bathe the blisters in salt water
12:39Can I do that with my hips and my knees?
12:41Do you have a rash there as well?
12:43No, we just hurt all the time
12:45Miss Savage, are you able to take a break from your work for a while?
12:49No, I've got mouths to feed
12:51Mine and my little boys
12:59I've been looking forward to this moment all day
13:01I popped on the market and bought myself a new pair of slippers for the winter
13:10I never knew you could love a bit of sheepskin on your feet till I came to live in England
13:15Me neither
13:17I'm sorry child
13:19You're all wrapped up in something?
13:22I'm trying to work out exactly when I started taking a pill
13:26Calculated against the number of actual pills you have to take before it protects you
13:31And why is that?
13:32I've never missed a single one
13:35I'm wondering if it's throwing my hormones out of whack
13:38I mean, it can do that, can't it?
13:41Child, the whole point of the pill is to throw your hormones out of whack
13:45That's how it stops you getting pregnant
13:48Are you late?
13:51I've been late before
13:53And things just sort of corrected themselves
13:58That would have been before you had a boyfriend
14:02Do you think you need to do a test?
14:05No
14:06Not yet
14:13Do you want to tap? Do you want to give up?
14:15No
14:15He's shot
14:16All right
14:40Helping
14:41Give up
14:42The winner is Demolition Debbie!
15:04Are you feeling sick?
15:07This is not good, honey.
15:09But we're going to do a test.
15:11I'll help you.
15:12I don't want anyone to know.
15:14They won't.
15:18My name is Higgins.
15:20Have the samples gone off to the laboratory yet?
15:22They will be dispatched very shortly,
15:24but if you wish to add any to the list,
15:26I'm afraid you must see to the paperwork yourself.
15:29I'm going to go to the laboratory yet.
15:49I'm going to go to the laboratory yet.
16:07I'm going to go to the laboratory yet.
16:11I'm going to go to the laboratory yet.
16:29You've got a lovely way of putting things.
16:32Can I make you a cuppa?
16:34A cuppa would actually be extremely welcome,
16:37but I should be making you one.
16:42I'm sorry.
16:43I'll have to get out.
16:56That's all I've got this time.
16:57I'll give you the full amount next week.
17:00I've heard that before and more than once.
17:02I am not a charity.
17:11Now there ain't nothing in here but feathers.
17:14I'm officially skinned.
17:15Do you keep your money in a cushion cover?
17:17I don't trust banks.
17:19At least that's where I know my money is.
17:20Even when I've got none.
17:23Sorry.
17:24I've gone all dizzy.
17:29Mr. Bianchi, I'm Mr. Penn Warden.
17:32I'll be removing this cyst for you.
17:34Do you mind if I take a look?
17:44Don't want to go hacking away on the wrong side.
17:53Could just drain this,
17:54but I'm leaning on the side of getting the whole thing out.
18:03Your bloods may come back perfectly normal,
18:06but I strongly suspect
18:07that if you'd have almost passed out in front of Dr. Turner,
18:10he'd want to check your iron levels.
18:12Maybe I just need a tonic.
18:14Maybe you do.
18:15I just think that as another woman
18:17who's often had to stand on her own two feet,
18:20you need to be in better condition than this.
18:23You're on your own with your kiddie.
18:26No.
18:27But I was very much on my own for a long time
18:30before he and his father came into my life.
18:33And I know what it feels like
18:34to be fighting an invisible opponent.
18:37I fight invisible ones and all.
18:39And I've no doubt you're extremely good at it.
18:41But you need someone more than a wrestling promoter
18:44in your corner.
18:45Let us help find out what's causing your malaise.
18:50Nurse Clifford's gone out to the cinema,
18:52but Nurse Hyland says we can have the box.
18:55Her new slippers came in.
18:56Could there be a more perfect showcase
18:58for nature's bounty?
19:00Oh, we can do a lot with ribbon and crepe paper.
19:04And that's before we start tying bows around marrows.
19:06Oh, these lamentable scissors.
19:09They wouldn't cut butter.
19:11Shall I see if I can find a sharper pair?
19:13What we really need is Sister Veronica
19:16and her magic pinking shears.
19:19How long has she gone to the mother house for?
19:22A lengthy retreat.
19:24I wasn't allowed to ask.
19:26It's her private spiritual business.
19:28Do you suppose she took her pinking shears?
19:32I would settle for her implements
19:33if we can't have her.
19:36Hmm.
19:37Hmm.
19:39Hmm.
19:41Hmm.
19:42Hmm.
19:43Hmm.
19:43Hmm.
19:44Hmm.
19:45Hmm.
19:45Hmm.
19:45Hmm.
19:54Hmm.
20:01Oh, Sister Monica Joan.
20:03I was hoping it was something that could be treated.
20:08But chronic kidney disease is just...
20:10Something that takes old people gently but kindly.
20:14But it takes them.
20:16How long has she been ill with this?
20:19I suspect not long.
20:22How long does she have?
20:25The same.
20:29Unless we can persuade her to accept what treatment there is,
20:32she'll progress to end-stage renal failure fairly quickly.
20:39Till that day comes, we'll just have to love her as we always have.
20:44But a bit more carefully.
20:52You look happy.
20:54Today is a happy day.
20:58I got a letter from the solicitor.
21:00The decree absolute?
21:02I'm officially a single man.
21:03I got a letter from the solicitor.
21:06Everything we do now is ours.
21:09Our choice to make.
21:11The Board of Health requested a meeting.
21:13The Board of Health requested a meeting.
21:13I told them your diary was full, but they were most insistent.
21:17It's in your diary for Friday.
21:20I anticipate the usual fun and games.
21:23Hmm.
21:24I need to see Anthony Bianchi.
21:26I've just had his histopathology results through from the hospital.
21:30Should I make an appointment for him?
21:33No.
21:34I'll call in on him today.
21:37We told you the truth.
21:39Sister Veronica is on retreat.
21:41You told us she had gone on retreat to the mother house.
21:44She would need her cross in the mother house.
21:46She would need her shoes.
21:48Our sister needed our discretion and I gave that willingly and with love.
21:52I'm sorry if you feel that you should have been informed.
21:58I'm sorry if I have been arrogant in thinking I deserved an explanation.
22:05I can't tell you everything.
22:06Too much of it is personal to her.
22:08But I can say she is struggling with her vows.
22:11And has been given leave of absence for a while.
22:15She's staying at the Oliver Christian Retreat Centre at Gravesend.
22:21Alone.
22:23Without anyone she knows.
22:25Or any friends to support her.
22:30Sister...
22:30Out of all of us.
22:32Sister Veronica emits the most love.
22:36She needs the most love.
22:38She does not know what she needs or wants.
22:41And that is why she has had to go away.
22:48Morning.
22:51Have you come to see Tina?
22:53Mr Bianchi, we've come to see you.
22:59I can't have breast cancer.
23:01I can't have breast cancer.
23:03It's a women's disease.
23:05We know all about that because his mum died of it.
23:09I know.
23:12She was a lovely lady.
23:14And even in the five years since she passed away we've learned so much about it.
23:21I can't have it.
23:23I can't have it.
23:24I'm a man.
23:26It is rare in men, especially for someone of your age.
23:30But it's not unheard of.
23:32Everyone has breast tissue Tony.
23:35Men and women.
23:37We have less of it.
23:39But it only takes a couple of cells to go rogue.
23:43And a tumour can start to develop.
23:46I have had some specialist training and there are new treatments and new approaches to surgery.
24:02Should I have done something sooner when I first felt the lump?
24:05We are going to focus on the future now Tony.
24:09And we are going to be with you every step of the way.
24:15I don't care whereabouts in your body it is.
24:18You've got the big seat, we have to face up to it.
24:21We can face up to it together.
24:25Without telling people.
24:27What is that going to achieve Tony?
24:30You need help.
24:32You need love.
24:34Tina.
24:37I need...
24:39Dignity.
24:41I need to feel like a man.
24:46There's a bike for sale.
24:52Maybe for your birthday, eh?
24:55If you win your next fight.
25:05Yes?
25:07Doctor.
25:09Gwen Savage's records arrived from her previous practice.
25:12She's been suffering with tiredness and joint pain for five years.
25:17Did the blood test we did show anything?
25:19Nothing at all conclusive.
25:22Just markers for minor inflammation.
25:25Slightly low white blood count.
25:28Could the pain relate to the wrestling?
25:30I saw her in the ring and it's incredibly physical.
25:32But an impact injury would be on one side, not both.
25:38It's as though I'm missing something.
25:41I never liked that.
25:43They said those Braxton Hicks pains was my body tuning up for the baby to be born.
25:48I got used to them, but they've got worse since I found out Tony isn't well.
25:53You've an immense amount to contend with at the moment.
25:56But baby's head is engaged, Tina.
25:59I really don't think you'll have very long to wait.
26:02Oh, this reading is just a little bit higher than I'd like.
26:08We can't have anything else go wrong.
26:10Nothing's going to go wrong.
26:12But I do want you to come over to the maternity home with me.
26:16So Dr. Turner can take a look at you.
26:31Come on.
26:32Any chance of a 99?
26:34I've an elderly friend.
26:35Might like a bit of a pick-ne-up.
26:38What's the matter, pal?
26:43Brian?
26:47You won't put me down for a single match.
26:50I can't afford to promote wrestlers who keep losing.
26:53I can raise my game.
26:55My dad used to say, aim up, things will look up.
26:59Your dad was one of the best there ever was.
27:01The Lamb of Panther was revered.
27:05Look, all I can offer you right now is the adult fixtures.
27:08Oh no, no.
27:09Adult fixtures is one step away from stripping, Brian.
27:12I keep it clean.
27:13It's a place down Deptford where they roll about in jelly.
27:17Girls earn 30 quid about.
27:1830 quid.
27:20I pay 20.
27:24Bring your own bikini.
27:35Usually Tina reads stuff for me, but I don't want to worry all this.
27:39There's going to be further surgery and a radiography assessment.
27:50I'm going to have to stop working.
27:53It won't be for long.
27:55You've got a family to support you.
27:58I've only just proved to him that I'm a man.
28:01I'm making a go of the van, earning my own living.
28:04And now I've got a woman's disease.
28:06And I can't provide it.
28:10I'm telling them nothing.
28:14PHONE RINGS
28:18Geoffrey Franklin?
28:20Mr Franklin, it's Sister Catherine from Ninata's house.
28:24It's about Sister Veronica.
28:27And...
28:29I'm calling you in confidence.
28:32I see.
28:33I don't like leaving you on your own, Tony.
28:37Don't be daft.
28:39I'm fine.
28:41Hey.
28:42Look.
28:45Got my appointment through already.
28:48Nothing to be done till then.
28:51It's you and the baby we need to think about now.
28:55Alright.
28:57Just promise me.
28:59You'll tell your brothers.
29:02I promise.
29:09You'll need to take these diuretics first thing in the morning,
29:13as you don't want to be up all hours of the night.
29:15We can bring the commode into your room.
29:18The commode will not be entertained.
29:20You may come to revise that opinion.
29:23Your tone is brisk, given that my days are numbered.
29:31Everybody's days are numbered, Sister.
29:34Mine as well as yours, one way and another.
29:41But you may be going on for quite a long time.
29:46Possibly feeling slightly better than you have done.
29:49Given that we know what ails you now.
29:53Maybe I do not care to go on for...
29:57quite a long time.
29:59Let's see how we do, shall we?
30:02With these diuretics.
30:20Call?
30:30Call?
30:42We'll proceed with a full mastectomy of your right breast.
30:46We'll remove the breast tissue, along with the lymph nodes and the pectoralis major muscle.
30:54I don't want to do this.
30:55I promise you, scarring will be minimal.
30:58And at least you won't be having to deal with foam rubber falsies like my lady patients.
31:10Come on, Carl, where are you?
31:18What's this thing?
31:23Hello, I'm Carl Savage's mum.
31:26Is he here, because if he's not, I'm...
31:28Carl Savage?
31:28I've just checked every member of his class for headlace including him. Oh thank
31:33God, thank God. Do you want to go in and speak with him? Gwen, what's happened? I couldn't wake up
31:39this morning. Carl took himself to school. He's the worst I've ever felt. What's this on your face Gwen?
31:47It's like this all the time. I cover it with pan stick usually.
32:08You waiting for your wife? My husband says he can't stand the smell of this place, drops
32:14me at the door and waits in the pub. Mr. Bianchi? Is this ever itchy or sore? No and it's
32:26never
32:26real blisters like the one on my back. It's more like a sunburn. But you've been covering
32:31it up with pan stick because it's such a strange shape. Like a butterfly. That herpes gladiatorum
32:39on your back was a complete red herring. This is what leads us to your diagnosis. Have you
32:46ever heard of a condition called lupus? Nobody in your family has ever had it? Or mentioned
32:52it? No. Do you think that's what I've got? This rash is so distinctive. I'd put money
32:58on it as a diagnosis. How long will it take to get rid of it? It's going to be about
33:03management
33:04rather than cure. But I promise you we can get you feeling better. Can't be cured. I need
33:12to win matches again. Gwen, you are too unwell to fight. Tony, thank God I've been worried
33:22sick. How'd it go at the hospital? It was all fine. The doctor's very pleased with me. Oh, really?
33:31So, erm, what happens next? What treatment are they giving you? So many pills I'll be rattling.
33:39The important thing is that you are getting some rest. Not worrying yourself silly. I'm not,
33:45now I've heard your voice. I love your voice. I hardly ever get to talk on the phone. Because
33:53we've been together all the time. And we'll be together again. Soon.
34:17Tony! Tony! We're going down the pub. You're coming? Tony!
34:43Beryl burrows as I live and breathe.
34:51Do tell me you're en route to a harvest festival with that dreary swag. Because at the very
34:57least it would provoke a degree of fellow feeling in me. I'm on potato peeling duty. There's
35:02a rota in the retreat house. Stop, stop. Before you completely break my heart. I come here almost
35:09every day. Sometimes I have an eclair. And when the fancier takes me, I have a cream split. You
35:16get a cherry on a cream split. And there's this little burst of flavour when you bite it.
35:22Tell me you've eaten fish and chips in the street, too. In broad daylight.
35:28Twice. Although sometimes it feels as though it's the things I don't do that tell me more
35:33about where I am now. Or where I might go next. What don't you do? I don't pray. I came
35:42here
35:43to pray. Or at least to decide what I ought to be praying for. But I can't. And do you
35:50know why? It's not different enough to the convent, Beryl. And all the snatched patisserie in the
35:57world can't disguise the fact that you are still living the same sort of half-life, trapped
36:01underneath a similar godly bell jar. And how do you propose a change that?
36:09Come and stay with me. Geoffrey. I am still technically a nun. I can't live with a man.
36:17You could lodge with a kindly confirmed bachelor.
36:27You've missed two appointments at the hospital, Tony. Do you have anyone to talk to? Your brothers,
36:35perhaps? I can't. Not with it being, you know, breast cancer. It's so humiliating. I can hear
36:47him now. Your typical tongue name. Dr. Turner and I delivered a baby at the maternity home
36:56last week. And the mother asked if the older brother could come in and meet him. We placed
37:03the baby in his little arms and he was awestruck. This was his brother. He promised right then
37:14and there to teach him everything he knew. All his best fighting moves. A cat gun was mentioned. And something
37:22about which jelly babies tasted best. Green ones. According to Enzo. Always gave me the green ones.
37:34Brothers look after each other, Tony. I've seen it with my own boys. Right now I shouldn't be moaning about
37:43me.
37:45She'll be looking after Taylor. Dr. Turner says she can come home if you're feeling up to it.
37:51Of course I'm feeling up to it.
37:59Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight. I read in the papers that Gem and our people will make it
38:10tonight.
38:12Stars will be shining. My sign is aligning with love. So come on and make it. Let's take everything that
38:23we've been dreaming of.
38:27Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight.
38:31Something tells me something's gonna happen to you.
38:33The smile on my face is the smile you will wear in a moment or two.
38:41So get it together, you see, it's gonna be alright.
38:48Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight.
38:54You stay in the dressing room tonight. Promise?
38:57Promise.
38:58And if I win, you'll get that bike. My precious boy.
39:26You're keeping up with us, peppermints child?
39:28I'm first on call tonight and I still feel quite queasy. But it's not just in the morning. Maybe the
39:34pill itself doesn't agree with me.
39:38I popped into the surgery when no one was there to check on your results.
39:43I think we need to have a talk.
39:50I can't seem to get comfortable.
39:54My back is killing me.
39:59Aren't you tiny? The sheets are wet.
40:05Do you think your walls have broken?
40:07I thought it'd be more of a whoosh.
40:11Oh, I don't feel right, Tony.
40:18Joyce, what am I going to do?
40:21The pill was supposed to be foolproof.
40:24Honey, the pill was invented by man and is taken by women.
40:28I'm just always going to be subject to human error.
40:31I will lose my job.
40:33I will have to tell my parents and I hardly speak to them as it is because they don't approve
40:37of Cyril.
40:38What? I approve of Cyril.
40:40He's a good man and he will support you.
40:43Whatever you choose to do.
40:45Choose to do?
40:47Joyce, I'm not even going to consider an abortion.
40:52That's why it's so hard.
40:54That's why I'm going to get the sack.
40:57Talk to Cyril.
40:59You've got time before you have to tell anybody else.
41:02And I will cover for you in any way I can.
41:09You have enough of a peppermint and wash your face.
41:19Cheerios, please take your seats for tonight's teeny movie,
41:23steamy bikini extravaganza of a fight.
41:28PHONE RINGS
41:31Nanata's house, midwife speaking.
41:33I'm ringing up about Tina Bianchi.
41:35We think she's gone into labour.
41:37I've been timing them for two minutes apart.
41:42Rosalyn?
41:43Rosalyn, come quickly.
41:4515, 20, as promised.
41:49Putting a good show for the gents, were you girls?
41:52They're like a bit of hair pulling.
41:55Hair pulling's an illegal move.
41:57It's not an illegal game though, is it Gwen?
42:00Who's going to complain?
42:02Don't do this Gwen, please.
42:04What are you doing here?
42:05You're putting yourself in real danger if you fight tonight.
42:07Your body is severely weakened from lupus.
42:10And your chances of getting injured are high.
42:12And what would Carl do then?
42:13Look, if you're not going to fight,
42:14you can hand that money back right now.
42:44A midwife is on her way,
42:46and I'm going to stay with you
42:47on the end of this phone until she gets there.
42:52She keeps saying she wants to push.
42:55Tell her to blow.
42:56Tell her to blow as if she is blowing out candles.
42:59See that? Don't push.
43:00Blow.
43:01Blow.
43:03Blow.
43:05Yeah, that's it.
43:06Do it with me.
43:13Wait, wait, wait, wait!
43:17You punched her, I said no punch!
43:19Ah!
43:19Ah!
43:25June!
43:31Do you want to tap?
43:33Do you want to give up?
43:35Tony, I need you to describe exactly what you can see.
43:39I don't know what I can see.
43:44Oh, I think it might be the baby's head.
43:46Oh!
43:49Oh!
43:53Oh!
43:55Oh!
43:57Oh!
43:59Oh!
44:00Oh!
44:01Oh!
44:02Oh!
44:03Oh!
44:04Oh!
44:06Oh!
44:07Oh!
44:08Oh!
44:09Oh!
44:10Oh!
44:13Oh!
44:15Oh!
44:16Oh!
44:20Can you hear me?
44:21Gwen?
44:23Gwen?
44:25Hang for an ambulance?
44:27Quickly!
44:31Mr. Bianchi, you need to get ready to deliver this baby yourself.
44:35But you must not hang up. Do you hear me?
44:44Oh, I can see. I can see the ache.
44:52It's sort of moving around.
44:55I can see its face.
44:56Good. Now, very gently place your hands under its head.
45:00Wait for the next big contraction.
45:02And guide the body out.
45:04Don't pull.
45:05There's something blue wrapped around its neck.
45:07Is that supposed to be there?
45:08It's the cord.
45:09All you have to do is slip your finger underneath it
45:12and lift it over the baby's head.
45:14It should slide off quite easily.
45:22Have you managed to move it?
45:24It works. It's off.
45:26No!
45:28No!
45:29You're letting it out.
45:30No!
45:34No!
45:35Oh!
45:37Oh!
45:38Oh!
45:39Oh!
45:40There's a boy, Tina!
45:47We've got a little boy.
46:07You did it, Tony. You delivered our son.
46:13Just looking.
46:18Well, someone was in a hurry to get into the world.
46:22Wait till we tell all your uncles about this.
46:30There's...
46:32There's my boy.
46:37You were lucky you didn't cause any more damage to your body.
46:40At least I got the rent money out of it.
46:43Gwen, the hospital are asking who will be looking after Carl whilst you're in here.
46:47They're willing to talk to social services.
46:48I bet they are.
46:50Social services will take him off me.
46:52I'm sure that isn't the case.
46:54But Gwen, you're treading a dangerous path in London, even if your health allowed you to keep on fighting.
47:03There are alternatives.
47:05Just as there's alternatives to keeping your money in a cushion cover.
47:08And are you going to tell me what they are?
47:12Because I'd listen to you.
47:15You've told me you know what it is to find things hard.
47:24Another one for the footy team.
47:26A striker.
47:27My turn now.
47:28My turn.
47:29Careful.
47:34And Mrs. Turner's just helping Tina to freshen up.
47:37And then Master Bianchi needs to have his lunch.
47:40The Neo Papa did a good job on his own then, Doctor.
47:43Not many people could deliver their own son single-handed.
47:47But Tony did.
47:48Yeah.
47:49This man, hmm?
47:52He's a proper man.
47:54He certainly is.
47:56And I salute him.
47:59Bravo!
48:07Let's.
48:11Something's come up.
48:13That I'm.
48:16Not gonna be able to do single-handed.
48:22I've got cancer.
48:41Breast cancer.
48:42Oh, Tony.
48:46I wish Mama was here.
48:50No.
48:52No.
49:03You are the best of us, little brother.
49:07And we...
49:08will not let you go.
49:36I spoke to the surgery, Gwen.
49:38All your records will be sent to the new GP we found for you up north.
49:41Thanks, Nurse.
49:43Thanks, Nurse.
49:43I've got to start looking after myself now, haven't I?
49:46She's not gonna be a wrestler anymore.
49:48I know.
49:50Would you like a hand putting that in the van?
49:52Or are you planning on peddling all the way to Blackpool?
49:55Thanks, Nurse.
50:00And thanks for the advice.
50:02It was like a bold move taking a job in a gym.
50:05Training other women.
50:08But it's legal in Lancashire, Gwen.
50:11And you won't be exploited.
50:12It will give your body time to recover.
50:15And my dad would like it.
50:16Good old lamb of pamphering his contacts.
50:18Thanks.
50:25Thanks, Nurse.
50:47Oh.
50:48I came home from a lunch hour.
50:50Do you want to go for a walk?
50:51No.
50:53I'm afraid I don't.
50:55It seems you've made a decent fist at moving your weekly clinic onto hospital premises.
51:01Yes.
51:02There was some grumbling from patients about bus fares, but I think we're on an even keel.
51:08Good.
51:09Because speaking scientist to scientist, and to paraphrase our friend Charles Darwin,
51:15it is not necessarily the strongest or most intelligent of any given species that survives.
51:20It's the one most adaptable to change.
51:23I know that.
51:25And I know I can't look after my patients properly if I don't adapt.
51:29A very good attitude to have.
51:32Which is why we're placing you front and centre of our plans.
51:37And closing you down.
51:43Closing us down?
51:44Not as a GP.
51:46Although you'll probably want to join forces with someone else now.
51:49There are real incentives for group practices.
51:53But the council are not going to renew the licence for the maternity home.
51:59But the licence runs out in a matter of weeks.
52:03It's always been renewed as a formality.
52:07This is the brave new world, Turner.
52:09There is no always anymore.
52:11There isn't even an always for me.
52:13The council will have to hand everything over to the National Health.
52:17But why? You still have power here doing this.
52:20To us and to Ninata's house.
52:24Ninata's house.
52:26They were forever outliers.
52:29And eccentric.
52:31Threpwood, what is the logic in all of this?
52:35How is it going to benefit the patients?
52:38I knew you'd say that.
52:39And it's why we chose to put you at the vanguard.
52:43No matter what goes on somewhere far away in the offices of Whitehall,
52:47there will always be patients.
52:52And you say that as though it's a problem.
52:59I'm so sorry, Cyril.
53:02You wanted to take responsibility, but I was absolutely certain that nothing could be better than this magnificent wonder drug
53:10that gave me control over my own body.
53:12We both agreed it was what we wanted.
53:15That it would let us have other things we wanted.
53:18And wanted very much.
53:22We just didn't want this, did we?
53:26I think that it's something that has happened a little out of order.
53:33But I wouldn't have taken you to bed if I didn't mean to marry you.
53:37And I always meant to marry you.
53:40And build a life with you.
53:42And building a life with you means more than just rings and mortgages.
53:48And bricks and mortar.
53:52Did you ever close your eyes and try to see our children?
53:58I see our children every day.
54:00With my eyes wide open.
54:03I see them crossing the street in Poplar or swinging on the swing down at the wreck.
54:09And I think...
54:11We could have a little boy like that one.
54:14Or that little girl has a smile like hers.
54:17Yes.
54:22I thought I would have to be patient.
54:24And I'm not very good at being patient.
54:28I would not say patience has been our distinguishing characteristic.
54:34And now it doesn't have to be.
54:36We need to cry.
54:36We need to cry.
54:37We need to cry.
54:38What happened..
54:38We need to cry.
